to you. There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. I'm

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening from Look North. We'll back with

:00:00.:00:10.

Good evening from Look North. We'll have a full round up of today's

:00:11.:00:13.

sporting action in a moment, including the latest on

:00:14.:00:15.

Chesterfield's automatic promotion to the First Division of football.

:00:16.:00:19.

But first, thousands of children and young people are caring for

:00:20.:00:22.

relatives in Yorkshire without the knowledge of the authorities. That's

:00:23.:00:25.

the warning from the charity Barnardo's. It says the educational

:00:26.:00:28.

and emotional wellbeing of many children is being put at risk. Joe

:00:29.:00:34.

Inwood reports. As Megan returns home from school,

:00:35.:00:37.

she has more to think about than most 12`year`olds. Before seeing

:00:38.:00:42.

friends she needs to check on her mum Claire who has progressive MS.

:00:43.:00:48.

Would you like a cup of tea? Yes, please.

:00:49.:00:52.

Luckily, all she needs today is a cup of tea but some days can be

:00:53.:00:56.

much, much worse. If it is a really bad day, I will

:00:57.:01:02.

struggle to get out of bed. It would be difficult for me to do anything.

:01:03.:01:06.

I would struggle to get up and get dressed and get downstairs.

:01:07.:01:09.

That is where Megan comes in, from making tea to helping around the

:01:10.:01:12.

house. In Claire's words, she is her legs.

:01:13.:01:16.

Because I know she needs the help and will appreciate it because she

:01:17.:01:20.

needs it and she wouldn't be able to do it on her own. Some things she

:01:21.:01:33.

could do but needs help with them. Megan and Claire's story is not

:01:34.:01:36.

unusual. The charity Barnardo's says here in Leeds, for example, we

:01:37.:01:40.

really have no idea of the number of children looking after their

:01:41.:01:42.

parents. We work with about 400 children per

:01:43.:01:47.

year. We estimate there are about 4000 out there. So we are working

:01:48.:01:55.

with the tip of the iceberg. And while Megan and her mum clearly

:01:56.:01:59.

are getting support, many more are not.

:02:00.:02:04.

Horse riders and residents from the Eccleshill area of Bradford have

:02:05.:02:08.

held a protest walk around the site of a proposed housing development.

:02:09.:02:12.

Plans to build 600 homes on a quarry at Fagley would mean the closure of

:02:13.:02:15.

Throstle Nest Riding School, which provides lessons for 200 riders

:02:16.:02:18.

including 50 children with special needs. Bradford Council says it'll

:02:19.:02:22.

take all views into consideration before making a decision.

:02:23.:02:32.

They may need to build some houses but 600? When there is plenty of

:02:33.:02:39.

properties unused at the moment. Yes, by all means on the old disused

:02:40.:02:43.

quarry where they said they were going to build it. But not on the

:02:44.:02:50.

land that is used for other things. Sport now and Chesterfield will play

:02:51.:02:54.

in Division One next season after sealing automatic promotion this

:02:55.:02:56.

afternoon. The Spirites's had a convincing 2`0 win over promotion

:02:57.:02:59.

rivals Burton Albion at a rain`soaked Pirelli Stadium. The

:03:00.:03:02.

fans however, are banking on a double celebration with hopes that

:03:03.:03:04.

Chesterfield will take the League Two title next week.

:03:05.:03:17.

A brilliant day today. We've really enjoyed it.

:03:18.:03:27.

Hopefully Fleetwood next week and will be champions. Whether it is

:03:28.:03:32.

called different or whatever. When the next week and that is it.

:03:33.:03:37.

Three points and we will be champions next week. Cheers, lads,

:03:38.:03:43.

up the blue Army! We will of course have a full round

:03:44.:03:48.

up of all the ups and downs of this weekend's games in Look North

:03:49.:03:50.

tomorrow night at 6:30pm. In the Challenge Cup fifth round

:03:51.:03:53.

games today, victories for the Bradford Bulls and Castleford Tigers

:03:54.:03:56.

mean they will join Leeds Rhinos and Keighley Cougars in the quarter

:03:57.:03:58.

finals. In cricket, Yorkshire are taking on

:03:59.:04:28.

Middlesex at Lords. Middlesex won the toss and decided to field.

:04:29.:04:31.

Yorkshire were all out for 178. Middlesex are now batting.

:04:32.:04:35.

At the Triathlon World Series in Cape Town, on Sunday, Britain's

:04:36.:04:38.

London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Jonathan Brownlee will be out to

:04:39.:04:41.

close the gap on current 2014 ITU World Triathlon Series leader Javier

:04:42.:04:47.

Gomez of Spain. Ripon's Jack Laugher narrowly missed

:04:48.:04:50.

out on adding to Great Britain's medal haul at the World Diving

:04:51.:04:53.

Series, finishing fourth in the 3m springboard final. However

:04:54.:04:55.

Yorkshire's Rebecca Gallantree and Hannah Starling won bronze on

:04:56.:04:57.

Friday. Time for the weather.

:04:58.:05:01.

A fairly cloudy and dull night on the cards for many of us. Some

:05:02.:05:07.

outbreaks of rain tend to die away as we go through the night and we

:05:08.:05:11.

will be left with lots of mist and murk around, particularly around the

:05:12.:05:14.

Pennines. Temperatures are fairly mild. North`easterly winds will die

:05:15.:05:23.

down. A fairly cloudy start to the morning but it should be dry

:05:24.:05:26.

initially with one or two breaks of cloud here and there but generally a

:05:27.:05:30.

quite grey day. The showers will pick up in the afternoon and some of

:05:31.:05:37.

those could be on the heavy side. It will feel fairly warm despite the

:05:38.:05:41.

cloud. As we had through the rest of the week, it stays fairly unsettled.

:05:42.:05:46.

There will be some showers at times but brighter spells in between.

:05:47.:05:56.

See you again just after ten o'clock. Goodbye.

:05:57.:06:10.

Good evening. After an unsettled weekend, the same culprit will be

:06:11.:06:15.

staying with us through the early part of the new week. No pressure is

:06:16.:06:21.

set to continue producing a fair number of showers across England and

:06:22.:06:25.

Wales. Still some hefty ones to come through this evening, particularly

:06:26.:06:30.

across the Midlands, South Wales and south-west England. Rain will spread

:06:31.:06:35.

from the south-west of Scotland into Northern Ireland by dawn. A mild

:06:36.:06:42.

enough night. Monday, after a gloomy start for many of us, the cloud and

:06:43.:06:48.

Risley rain across Northern
